Hello,
I recently used the rescue disk to install NetBSD 1.6.1 to
my raq 1. The rescue disk is a marvelous invention, it worked
well. I installed using image_raq1.iso.gz from here:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/cobalt/restore-cd/1.6.1
I cannot get the serial port to act as a console. When the server
boots, it sends messages from the prom and bootloader to
the serial port:
> Decompressing done
> Decompressing -/ done.
> >> NetBSD/cobalt 1.6U Bootloader, Revision 0.1 [@0x81000000]

> 1745232+136952 [66288+57321]=0x1e9d38
> Starting at 0x80001000
After this point, though, the serial port is silent after
NetBSD starts booting.
The file /etc/ttys has what I think are appropriate (default) entries:
> console "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100 off secure
> tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100 on secure
I see this in ps: /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 tty00
Any help getting the serial console to work would be welcome.
So far, the server has crashed twice and I am hoping to get
a clue from console output.
Thank you,
h
